Case Study: Cedar cuts vulnerability alerts by 70% with Socket

Cedar cuts vulnerability alerts by 70% with Socket

Cedar, a company providing a healthcare financial experience platform, faced significant challenges in managing software vulnerabilities. Their previous tools generated an overwhelming volume of alerts with poor data quality, making it difficult for their lean security team to prioritize real threats and eroding trust with their engineering teams. They needed a solution that could provide accurate, relevant findings to improve their security posture without creating friction for developers.

Cedar implemented Socket's security solution, which integrated seamlessly into their GitHub workflow. Socket provided superior data quality and context, which allowed the security team to quickly determine the applicability of vulnerabilities. This resulted in a dramatic 70% reduction in alert volume, enabling the team to focus on high-impact work. The solution also provided crucial supply chain protection and helped Cedar rapidly assess its exposure during major security incidents.
